The Israel national under-19 football team (Template:Lang-he) and the Israel national under-20 football team (נבחרת ישראל בכדורגל עד גיל 20) also Youth A National Team (נבחרת נוער א') ; or simply Israel Under-19s, Israel U19s; Israel Under-20s, Israel U20s - both squads are also regarded as the feeders for the Israel national under-21 team.

This team is for Israeli players aged 19 (or under at the start of a two-year UEFA European Under-19 Championship campaign) so players may be up to 20 years old, such as in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. In addition to the Israel's senior squad, there are also the Israeli squads for U-21 players, and other youth teams such as, the U-18, the U-17, and the U-16. Players are not level or nation static so can compete at any level as long as they are eligible; U19s do not relinquish level or nation association while competing and can compete on senior side, then back to U19s, and "youth level' or senior level with another nation.

As of 2021, the Israel U19 home ground is the Netanya Stadium in the city of Netanya, Israel.

History

The idea to form a youth team first came about in 1957, as the IFA considered entering a team to the 1958 UEFA European Under-18 Championship tournament.[9] The youth team, an U19 squad, played its debut match against its England equivalent on 20 May 1962, losing 1–3.[10] Two days later, the team recorded its first victory, winning 2–1 in a rematch.[11]

In 1964, the youth team participated for its debut time in the AFC Youth Championship tournament, sharing the cup with Burma in its first tournament. The team continued to win the title five more times in the next 8 years, before Israel was banned from participating in AFC tournaments.[12]

Until 1992, the youth team's only official tournaments were FIFA Youth Championship qualification tournaments, twice participating in the process in the OFC U-20 Championship and once in the South American Youth Football Championship. At the same period of time, to give the youth squad its share of international matches, the IFA established an annual tournament for under-18 teams, which was held in December and January between 1974 and 1989 (after which the tournament became a tournament for under-17 teams).[13]

In 1992, as Israel was admitted to UEFA, the squad began participating in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (an under-18 tournament until 2002), appearing in the final tournament in 1997 and 2014.

Israel qualified for the 2023 U20 World Cup by virtue of its performance at the 2022 U19 European Championships.[14]
